​

• We love our babies, and we need time to prepare for them. Reservations must be made for infant care. Notification of cancellation is necessary no later than 1 hour prior to arrival time. If cancellation does not occur, a no-show penalty billing will occur, which is equal to the estimated cost of the infant visit.  

​

• New places can be uncomfortable for children. Our center is very child-friendly, however it can also be very active when children of many ages are present. You know your child. If he or she has trouble adapting to new environments, please consider the time and day of his or her first visit. Our busy days are school holidays, summers and all day Saturdays. Consider bringing your child to a first visit at an alternate time in order to allow for adjustment. Also consider using our online registration process prior to your visit to avoid the extra time necessary spent at our center filling out paperwork. 

​

• Some children have “tangibles”…a pacifier, blanket, special toy…that are valuable and helpful in transitions as well as during sleepy times. We highly recommend that you include any of these items with your child in order to provide the most comfortable environment for him/her.

​

• Any other valuables including tablets, phones, expensive coats or clothing, etc can be stored in our cubbies but ARE at risk for loss. Please don’t leave any valuable items in our center that aren’t necessary for use by your child.

For your convenience, we make “food runs” to both establishments at each meal time. Upon check in at our center, you will be given the opportunity to order meals for your children.

Ask the Experts: Preschool – Part time vs full time?

Reading Time: 3 minutes 

We asked local experts to weigh in on how to know if your child is ready for full-time school.

Dr. Anne K. Jacobs: Frankly, the choice between part-time and full-time school is often a luxury. Some parents’ work schedules do not allow for a half-day option. If your schedule is flexible, it can be very beneficial to tailor your child’s entry into school to meet their unique developmental needs.

In our family, we were fortunate enough to start our girls in a part-time preschool day with the option to gradually increase time as they were ready. In considering whether your children are ready for part-time or all-day school, it helps to ask yourself questions about their readiness across different domains.

Are they ready physically? A full day of school can be quite draining for young ones who are not used to such a rigorous schedule. For example, if your child is a strong napper, part-time school may be the best fit at first.

Are your children ready emotionally?Can your child separate from you without too much distress? While it is typical to experience some tears and protests at drop-off, most children should be able to calm down and redirect within 20 minutes or so. Young children are not masters of their emotions, but your kiddo will need to have some self-soothing skills or allow teachers to calm them before they are ready for long days at school.

Are your children ready socially? School is a great place for children to learn and practice social skills. However, if your child regularly struggles with following directions, listening to adults, and respecting other kids’ (with adult prompts), they may need more time to ease into school.

Finally, are your children ready cognitively? Little brains are amazing. Often children crave new experiences and delight in learning new things. If your children thrive on tackling new challenges, full-time school might be a great fit.

Anne K. Jacobs earned her Ph. D. in Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Kansas and enjoys serving children, adolescents and their families. In addition to her private practice in Edmond, she holds an adjunct faculty position at Southern Nazarene University. Her family includes: husband, Noel who is also a child psychologist; twin daughters, Keegan and Sarah; one dog, two cats, and five tarantulas.

Courtney Chandler: When determining if your child is ready for half-day or all-day care, there are several factors to consider.  Has your child spent long periods of time away from family or the home before? If so, how did they respond? How did you, as the parent or caregiver, respond to your child being away from you? Has the child spent long periods of time around other children of their age group? How were transitions to and from these periods where the child was away from home?

If you are questioning which is best for your child, a great starting place is to begin with half-day care and gradually increase the time spent away until the transitions are comfortable for both you and your child to manage.

On the procedure for calculating average earnings

Answer

Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the concept of working time . Normal working hours. Working time means – the time during which the employee, in accordance with the internal labor regulations and the terms of the employment contract , must perform labor duties , as well as other periods of time that, in accordance with this Code, other federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation refer to working time. nine0003

Employer is obliged to keep records of the time actually worked by each employee.

In accordance with article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation p on the agreement of the parties to the employment contract , the employee, both upon hiring and subsequently , may be assigned part-time work (part-time work (shift) and (or) part-time work week, including the division of the working day into parts). Part-time work can be established both without a time limit, and for any period agreed by the parties to the employment contract. nine0003

When working on a part-time basis , the employee’s remuneration is made in proportion to the time worked by him or depending on the volume of work performed by him.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that if an employee for a period (month) has fully worked days according to the schedule on a part-time basis, then the period (month) is considered fully worked.

According to paragraph 10 of Decree No. 922[1] the average daily earnings for the payment of vacations provided in calendar days and the payment of compensation for unused vacations is calculated by dividing the amount of wages actually accrued for the billing period by 12 and by the average monthly number of calendar days (29.3).

If one or several months of the billing period were not fully worked out or the time was excluded from it in accordance with clause 5 of this Regulation, the average daily earnings are calculated by dividing the amount of actually accrued wages for the billing period by the sum of the average monthly number of calendar days ( 29,3) multiplied by the number of full calendar months and the number of calendar days in incomplete calendar months.
